Speaker 4 (02:37):

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Last call is coming up as well.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
All right, let's welcome in the odd Couple crew, because
we wouldn't be able to do this fine radio program

You ain't wife, put my outfit, laid it out on

of him.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I'm here, so I don't get fine, there you go,
Iowa Sam of course. Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Steve the Sager's at the anchor desk, will keep us
updated throughout the program.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
He scares me, can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You look like yeah, I could hear you.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
What are you talking about? And of course.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Elijah on social media Guru of course. Uh so let's
get started.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Let's do it.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
We just heard the announcements. You just heard, Steve Sager.
Both m vps have been announced. Aaron Judge in the
American League unanimous, and show hey, Ol Tani in the
National League unanimous.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
And here we go.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
This is awesome because these two used to compete, right
when Otani was in the American League, right, and show,
hey beat him and Judge beat him when he set
the American League record. And so you have these two
guys both had unbelievable seasons. Otani had a history making
campaign with fifty stolen over fifty stolen base in fifty
home runs, which had never been done in the history
(04:21):
of baseball. You ain't the way you judges. Numbers are
just through the roof, like he just had. And we'll
go over all that, but just through the roof. But
now they're in different leagues. So there's two MVPs. Imagine
if we had to pick one MVP, just one MLB
turned to the NBA. And remember it has nothing to
(04:44):
do with the postseason. Neither guy did anything in the postseason,
so it doesn't matter really in this case. Okay, right,
But if you had to pick one mister kelvin Washington,
who does Dodgers pre and like that Dodgers pre who's from.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
New York, New York, but I'm from Commonweens. We all know.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
The best part about this is anybody who has been
listening for years to you knows your man crush for
Aaron Judge. Okay, so let's say it leads both to
be honest in this situation. All right, okay, guys, yes
for the Judge.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yes, so all right, if we have to pick one
one MVP, who you pick.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
It, don't first of all, don't put me in a box.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Okay, I might surprise you here and say that the
MVP would be show Hey Otani, Okay, show me the money,
show time. It hits different, as the kids say, Iowa, Sam,
it just hits different now, Aaron Judge. And obviously we're
both talking about two of the best of the best
of the best. So there's there's no wrong answer in
this case. Yes there is. It would be wrong if
(05:50):
you say, Aaron Judge, show Haltani what he was able
to do this season, and before you can even say it,
he hits the fifty to fifty club. In fact, he
goes past the fifty fifth Efty club and you're talking
about fifty stolen bases, fifty home runs. And what I
love about it most is he did it in his
first season with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
He didn't have to work his way in.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
He didn't know what to wand soda when he went
to the padres and everybody was underwhelmed and he had
to go somewhere else to get it started. Comes right
in into a roster where he could have been, you know,
feeling like it's just not gonna work out. They got
a bunch of other all stars. He comes right in
off of Tommy John surgery or at least a surgery,
since they won't tell us, and he comes right in.
He gets busy, and he gives you fifty plus home runs.
(06:33):
He's stealing bases, and he's stealing bases in the era
where guys don't really do that anymore. This in the seventies,
the eighties, nineties, Guys aren't stealing bases like that. Guys
are stealing bases or six ' four plus two something
big who also have to worry about hitting, who also
have to worry about pitching next season, It just looked different.
It was stylistically different. He did it on one of
(06:55):
the biggest teams, the biggest sports franchises, the Dodgers. He
lived up to the hype, which you know, Rob, Sometimes
that doesn't happen. You're underwhelming. When a new person goes
to a new place, it's a letdown.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Well, because he was playing at Anaheim where people just
didn't have the crowd.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
He was putting up numbers.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
But I mean, think about it, Mike Trout has been
the best player one, two or three the last seven.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Eight nine years. You don't know nothing about him.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Mike Trout outside of Anaheim can walk in the mall
and two people would recognize him. Yet he's regarded as
one of the best baseballs. Not if they would know
him because of his wheelchair.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I think no, I mean no, don't listen, thank you, Ryan,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I ain't gonna lie. My man stay injured.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Thank you. My man does stay injured. But so the
answer is show Hey. It just was different. It was power,
It was consistency, Rob. It was I'll bat second, I'll
lead off whatever you need. So for me, it's show hay.
But again, I'm not mad when you say judge, but
it was showing how you know I'm gonna say, Judge,
look at your face.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Aaron Judge had the better MVP season. And I'm not
before I undressed show Hay season, Okay, which you know I.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Will Aaron Judge unbelievable. Are you ready?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yes, led the major leagues in home runs fifty eight
and he also led the major leagues, not that the
American League, the major leagues ops, RBI, walks, and there
are a few other categories. And here's the part that
is incredible about his season. He had a terrible April.
(08:32):
Think about that. You remember he got booed at Yankee Stadium,
he was batting, won something, and he had a terrible April.
And so that is the damage he did was really
between May and September. I mean, think about that, like
he got he gave everybody a work. Remember that stretch
late September where he went homeless for fourteen games or
(08:56):
whatever it was. But I'm just trying to say, like
the start was you on, what a tear he was
on that We've probably never seen anybody have that kind
of a tear. It was really really incredible. And here's
the other thing.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You ready listening.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
The other part that I think when you look at
Aaron Judge and just in a major leagues where like
the the the batting average, right for the whole league
is something like two fifty something, right, Like that's the average.
Like that's the average, like two fifty something for everybody
(09:38):
in baseball the average batting average. Aaron Judges, a home
run hitter, batted three twenty two, Like that is unbelievable,
three twenty two with power, drove in runs.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Took his walks.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
He did everything you were supposed to do and led
the Yankees, remember and that lineup. Sometimes he was the
only guy. And that's what's impressive. Here's the only reason
why I'm going to discount and poo poo show Hail Tani's.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh yeah, I know where you're going. Fifty fifth, Go ahead,
get it out the way, go ahead and get the
pooh poo king. Come on, pooh poo king, I'm come on.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Sliding into pit boxes is what taints the fifty to fifty.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Like, I get it.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
He has speed and he's doing stuff that other people
haven't done. But you can't tell me that the base
is being closer. Remember the base is closer at first
base and at second base. And you can only throw
over twice. So once you throw over twice, he knows
you can't come over again, you know what I mean.
(10:47):
And if you do, uh, he's gonna get second base.
So I think that's the only part of it. He
had a tremendous season. But if I was really looking
at both, and I know it was historic and nobody
had ever.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Gone fifty fifth and don't say it like that. I
don't like the way you're saying it, but b utt but.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I would pick Judge because I think the way he
mashed from May through September was sites unseen. We never
seen anybody mash hit for average, hit those many home
runs in an era where guys don't hit for average,
where gods strike out a lot, guys don't even make
contact like that, that's incredible to me. Aaron Judge would
(11:30):
be my MVP, and they both were unanimous, but he
would be my MVP if we had to pick one.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
The thing about what you're discounting was show hey, and
you said it, but you kind of glossed over it
is that everybody has the same opportunity to holler at
these pizza hut boxes and no one does it.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And no one does it near.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Him when you're talking about guys who also fit hit
even just like thirty five home runs, say so forty,
let alone fifty.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That's the difference. So it wasn't even close.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
When you look at the next person who had nearly
you know, the amount of home runs is him when
it comes to stolen basis. So everybody has the opportunity,
he does it. And again that superior speed though, I'll
give you that, dude, and it is remarkable. Like I've
been in the clubhouse and I'm like, oh, he's a
legit six four and a half. Like he's not like,
oh he's six They listening there. He's a big guy.
He's a big dude, and he's taking those chances. And
(12:20):
again also for Mookie Bets to be a Hall of Famer,
and they'd be like, oh, man, Mooki's out, Mookie's injury.
We want you to back, you know, the lead off,
and he's leading off. He goes back to second when
you already know in the back of his head he's
rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. And again he comes to
the Dodgers where the expectations are through the roof World
(12:40):
Series or busts and he lives up to the height.
Fifty four home runs, fifty nine stolen basis.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Come on, man, here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
But he's got a whole entire country on top of
this country watching him putting up crazy ratings. You were
there spring training. I mean the pressure and not to
mention he did this. What a dude, who was all
of this pockets stealing his money? You know, he didn't know.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
He didn't know that the guy was stealing his money,
That's what he says.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
And they came to know that, and he got pressure
of that pressure playing with the Dodgers, pressure of a
new team.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Press.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Brugh got married and not only did he deliver, he
over delivered.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
And then he had a nerve.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I know it's the postseason, but go to the postine.
I'm not even count that, but I'm just saying that's
not in the vote, not in the voting. But that
has been remarkable to me. Again, Aaron Judge is incredible.
If you pick Aaron Judge, I ain't mad at you.
Here here's a reason to disqualify sho hal Tani. He
didn't only slide into those pizza boxes.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
He had an extra incentive He thought that there was
a slice in there with extra cheese and pepperoni, so
he had an incentive to get there faster.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
No, I'm not numb. I'm not dealing with you, all right.
The first one was better, so you can't double up.
We laughed at your first one. Then you chose to
go in for more.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Earth eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven nine sixty three sixty nine. Both were unanimous. They
were Otani and Judge. But if you have to pick one,
who's the MVP of baseball?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
We only want man.

Also last call your chance to get in on stuff
that you didn't have an opportunity to get on, get
(16:18):
in on earlier in the program. And man, we got
some a big story here, and I think the ramifications
are what makes it even bigger. But Kelvin jump in
on this. So you and I had a conversation, I
don't know, give it a month or so ago, a
couple of months ago, about Robert Craft. Should he get
into the Hall of Fame as a contributor. So it
was just announced earlier today that he was. Of course,
(16:42):
sources he was supposed to be considered for a favorite
to get into class of twenty twenty five for the
Profile Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
He's been passed over again.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
And this is being passed over by Ralph Hay, who
was a co founder of the National Football League and
the owner of the Canton Bulldog from nineteen eighteen to
nineteen twenty two and five sources with the knowledge told
ESPN earlier, and so they said these to these contributors,
they made this decision, and that's gonna be next month
(17:12):
when the Hall of Fame happens. And so some sources
are very close to the to this actually come out
and said they're very shocked by this. They said that
no one actually knows who this Hayes guy is unless
they say I'm going to quot him right here. This
source says, it's a huge surprise and it's very disappointing.
Unless you are an NFL historian, you don't know who
Ralph hay is. So what's happening was, hey, hey, hey,
(17:36):
this is the thirteenth year that Robert Kraft, who is
now eighty three, was considered by Hall committee but failed
to advance out of the committee eighteen years thirteen years
of an eighty percent of the voters must approved the
nominated finalists for an induction into Canton's Hall of Fame.
So another year is gonna have a year fourteen for
Robert Kaft If it were to happen.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
He's gotta be pissed.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Statement owner of a franchise that's won six Super Bowls. Okay,
he's eighty three, like there's no guarantee. I'm not trying
to tell them anywhere, but there's no guarantee that he's
going to be and have his day in the spotlight,
in the sun, you know, and get his place in
the Hall of Fame for his family and his kids
(18:22):
or his family, you know, and all that. And Jerry
Jones is in the Hall of Fame. Jerry Jones' franchises
won three and Jared hasn't done anything in thirty years,
but he's already in.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
He got in.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Yeah, And they picked a couple of people people don't
even know over again, whose franchises won more Super Bowls
than anybody, and they've taken him out again. They can
only be one reason, and one reason only. The New
England Patriots are cheaters. What else could it be. They're
(19:02):
holding a standard and saying, Jerry, I mean Robert Kraft
and that organization they were cheaters.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
And I got one thing to say. If you're gonna
do this to Robert.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Kraft, you gotta do it to Tom Brady, and you
gotta do it to Bill Belichick. Ain't no way you
could just pick out the owner and not pick out
the coach and the star quarterback who remember out of
those three guys who got suspended from the NFL, those
(19:37):
tom Brady got suspended for cheating. For cheating, Are they
gonna hold tom Brady's feet to the fire the way
they're doing Robert Kraft.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
The chances of that it's standing about the same amount
of chance as a piece of Ralph chickens and chicken
in front of your face. That ain't happening. You know
you eating it. Tom Brady's in the Hall of Fame.
Bill Belichick's in the Hall of Fame. No tell you.
I'm gonna tell you why. And I mean this sincerely.
I get your point. Here's why that's not happening. Number one,
tom Brady means way more to it to the perception
(20:11):
of football. Like then, when we go in to have
these bar barbershop conversations, sitting at the bar with your
homiees talking football the group chats, you're not talking about, yo,
who was the greatest owner of all time? You don't
do that, Yo. You know, who's the best contributor in
the Hall of Fame? You don't do that. You have
conversations about who's the greatest player, who's the greatest quarterback?
(20:32):
Which team? Not the owner. So you're right, what's happening
is what your witnessing is. Somebody's gotta be the fall guy,
and we'd rather make Robert Kraft the fall guy, who,
by the way, towards the end, has had some issues
that are out there as well that I do think
plays a part in this. You know, his indiscretions if
(20:52):
you will, that just magically went away. But by the way,
we always makes me laugh when we pick and choose
things go away.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
That's the story for another day.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
But all they need to do is put it on Netflix,
and then it would buffer the video so much we
wouldn't see it anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
No, but you'll be the main one trying to see it.
You'll be reloading video. You do want to see the video.
You'll be reloading this for years. You want to see
the video. You're the only person. Don't nobody else want
to see that? So, but that's a serious thing to me,
because I think this plays a role. So I think
you have the scandal of the cheating. Okay, they might
have been like all right, you know, because we're not
gonna let not. It can't be just that I'm saying,
(21:25):
And Jerry Jones is right, and we know Jerry Jones
been out here while. And what I'm saying is the
cheating and all that all right, we got an eye
on it, but we're not gonna not put Tom Brady in.
We're gonna not why Barry Bonds Wait a minute, because
that is Ferry.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Bonds and Roger Clemens, two of the greatest players who
ever played Major League baseball, are not in. And guess
what they have different from Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
They they never got suspended by it. Like Tom Brady,
you you make valid poisse. Can I tell you why?
Because that is perceived when you're putting a perception. I'm
not saying it, cauple perceive that you were putting something
in your body to cheat. Is different than you saying, hey,
I like the ball, my PSI on the ball to
be a little lower, you run around the flating balls
(22:11):
just a bit. Is a lot different than you've been
taking years and years of cycles of STARO.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Is it cheating?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I'm telling you this ain't. This is how they're seeing this. Okay,
So the Astros did they cheat?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
What they do? They cheat it? They knew what pitch
was coming.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Ros Sterry Tidles still there, but they knew what the
pitch was coming, it makes a different app So if
you're Tom Brady and your quarterback and you know what
the de you know the defensive signals of the other team,
you think that helps.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Of course. Okay, so it's cheating, But I.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Believe what they're telling you is our degree of what
we care about cheating.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
That's what you're hearing. No, that is what you're hearing.
But you need to be consistent.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Hey, if you're still gonna do this to Robert Craft,
he doesn't even play, he doesn't even have all all
that is exactly, but he doesn't even He's not even
involved in the stuff like that Bill Belichick because to
get the same treatment, he's the coach that happened.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
On his watch.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Bill was going on, the greatest coach. We're not gonna
leave the greatest coach out, Tom Brady, not Posi che quarterback.
He might be the greatest player of all time. We
ain't leaving him out. No, if he cheated, why not,
because he didn't cheat you. I'm not arguing did they
cheat with the flake game. I'm arguing with that everything
in life. Everything in life.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Has a five barometer as a metric and that's just life.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
And people are going to say, well they cheated with that.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
That ain't that Barry Bonds had he stolen, had a
you know, stolen some signs of future. All right, fine,
that's cheating, but technically that he did, he did steroids.
That was their thing. Pete Rose, you can bet no games.
That's our thing. We can't tolerate a minute.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Did Barry Bonds ever test positive in Major League Baseball?
I'm absolutely Did he ever get suspended? No, But I'm
saying that's the where they put and then we know happened.
I'm not saying Barryboys shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame.
What I'm saying is there are absolutely metrics and rules
to the way people view things.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I think. So there's Tom Brady, but wait.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
A minute, how are you gonna the owner that won
six Super Bowls? You're going to make him have the
run of yes, because he matters the least.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
And not and not wait and not Tom Brady or
not Bill Belichick. Tom Brady just get two call games. No,
I'm not about that. I wanted to do. No, it
does matter. It doesn't cheated or.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Point he cheated, putting him on a on your flagship
football station. And if he was a big cheat and
everyone cared, he would not be he cheated.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
It doesn't.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
The point is the people who run the Hall of
Fame on the writers Tom Brady fat.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Obviously, look they ain't even gonna be on the ballot. Obviously,
look at this.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Have already made Tom Brady's bus. Rob Parker, his bus
is made. His yellow jacket is to be consistent. They
might give him two. They might give tom Brady to
yellow jackets. No, they will first person to put one
on front winds and backers stop playing.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
No, they're gonna build one on the video camera that
they use to help Tom Brady win.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Bill Belich of a Sachi yellow jacket coming and tom
Brady's got a l Gucci or Louie stop playing. And
so we needed to make a fall guy. It's someone
who would get in as a contributor. We rather not
have the contributory. The only way to the owners get
in is So what I'm saying is I'd rather not
have that guy in than Bill Belichick, who was one
of the winning coaches and also the greatest.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Who you want in is whether or not you look
at their organization. If you're gonna do this to the owner,
the organization is now tainted. It's tainted that they've passed
this guy over. There's no way you're two guys about
the flake game and a potential spy game.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Obviously, the writers and the people who vote on this.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
No, I think they care more about the like the
personal reflection of your character.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
I don't believe. I don't absolutely believe. Did Jeff Joe Jey?
Did Jerry Joe? Just Jerry Jones is the most powerful man.
Did he just acknowledge that he had a kid out
of Well luck James.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
He's been me.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
He's just acknowledged it. But he's already been in the
Hall of Fame. He can acknowledge anything he wants that's
been out there forever. I just like he just I'm
not acknowledging the point he just acknowledged he already got against.
That case against Robert Craft was dropped.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
And we all know that it wasn't It wasn't dropped
for the right reasons, but it was dropped.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
All I'm saying is, if you're gonna do this to
Robert Kraft, you guys do what you're saying, and you
do it to Bill Belichia, you're.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Not living in a real listen anything, absolutely, Tom Brady,
as are they are. They mailed Tom Brady his yellow
jacket two years ago. They said, hey, Tom, just put
this in the closet real quick. We'll be back in
five years. Bill Belichick, what size you again? Forty six?
Are It's already in the mail. Just don't wear it yet.
You can put it. You can put a hoodie under
it if you want to, Bill Belichick. And that's just
the fact, Alex. You can shake your head. The first
(26:49):
text should be I agree, but you also gotta admit
what it is.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
The first text I got about this story. Ready, good,
that's what happens when you cheat.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
So if that's the sentiment about cheating, and that organization
is just a living every in the world, right, everyone
can ask your seven ninety nine on fun and ask
you a question and you two, rob who just got
elected president?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
No? But that okay, this is no no, no, no, no,
there is no no.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Because if that was the case, your argument would be
stronger if he got in, Bill, if Robert Kraft got in.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
My point is I can say the cheating that's why
it won't matter with Todd Brady.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
That's why it won't matter. It shouldn't have mattered. What No,
Rob he's a fall guy. Nobody cares about him. And
it doesn't make sense Robert Robert Craft would get in
because people would say because nobody care, nobody don't want
to get Robert. Why because it's not he's a contributor
and the credit owners in. It's not like he's the
first guy going in as an owner. They put owners in.
(27:50):
Robert Kraft will get in. I'm not saying that he
might not get in. No, I didn't say he'll be
alive when he gets in. But he's gonna get in.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Let's I want.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I want to hear from your head. I think Tom
Brady eight seven seven that to me, I'm telling you
that you're gonna do this. You gotta do it to
Bill Belichick. Craft, you gotta do it to Tom Braid.
They're gonna make him wait. They're gonna make him wait
it out.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
It is the waited out at eighty three. Yeah, can
you wait over there? What they're gonna do?
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Go stand over there doing I don't want to say
that wrong. When he's gone, I don't want to say that.
Robert Craft is all, but his office is in the cemetery.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'm just saying that when he's in the cemetery, they're
gonna say, you know who shoul get in the Hall
of Fame, Robert Kraft.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
And you said you wouldn't put him in the grave.
Now you don't put him in the grave. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine. Fucks.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington. Uh, here are Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
When I saw that you brought in the Odd Couple, Like,
I don't even know if it was a DVD set.
I think it was like a VHS set. Beata said, no,
it wasn't. It was an eight track, it was it
was something.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
It was a vinyl. It was a vinyl. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
I didn't know what it was. I'm like, what in
the I had to dust it off and I was
so excited. All right, let's welcome in my partner here. Yo,
name is Kelvin was trash talking Tuesdays. Hey, just one
more time, just because we all got duped. Alex hit
me with the Mike Tyson one more time than the
dude who said what he had to say what he.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Had to say, and again, thank you so much for sharing.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
The other one, the dude who what he doesn't want
to see about? Yeah, I mean Kevin from Cover City,
Kevin for COVID City. He spoke for all of us
something he ain't want to see today. What's up man?
Trash talking Tuesday is supposed to be at a certain
time of day, but we already getting started.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
So we got a busy, busy show.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Uh you got it, Yeah, booty, Thank you Kevin from Culver.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
City, Kevin for speaking for all of America, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
All right, So he from Talam will drop by in
about in about twenty six minutes. So from Salam, the
former NFL offensive lineman. He sounds sexy, that's right. Fox
Sports Radio Weekend host. See what you're gonna argue, We
got no trash talking at hour number two. Your chance
to trash anyone anything in the world of sports. You'll
have thirty or forty seconds to do so we will
(31:47):
not n ot interrupt you. So if you still want
to trash Tyson or Jake Paul on the whole ruse
or whatever it was, you can do that, and I'm
saying we won't. Is you you interrupt? And our number three.
There's a big twentieth anniversary today of the Malice at
the Palace?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Were you there? I was not there, And it's funny.
I was on my way there.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I was in the speaking engagement and I had to
drive past my apartment in downtown Detroit to get up
to the palace. So I turned the radio on. The
prisons are down by fifteen. I'm driving my car. There's
my apartment on the left. Or do I keep going
to get on the freeway? You miss sail out and
I missed it. I don't think I would have made
it anyway, you know what I mean? And I probably
(32:35):
would have let you into it. That was the time
we'll talk about this. Yes, and we have a guest,
Mike Stone Stony as people know him in Detroit ninety
seven won the ticket. He was the original Odd Couple
partner in Detroit. So Stony today on the twentieth anniversary,
let's welcome in the Odd Couple crew. We wouldn't be
able to do this find radio program without him. Alex
(32:57):
is our engineer of forty herd handle Downyan is our
uh producer.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Hold on, don't do don't sell him short, our well
dressed producer out here in the street.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I know they she told him to tighten up. All right,
Ryan is already engaged.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
He's got a beautiful bride to be, So no flattery
to Ryan.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
No, I'm saying she told him to tighten up. She
said something to Ain't no way. He coming in looking
like a J Crew fashion model right now, that's right.
I don't even know who he was. I was like,
how are you doing Ryan here? Like Kelvin is Mere
you go right, It's funny when you put on more
than the T shirt, you look different.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
He got his hair all nice and jailed. You know there.
It is why I figured it out.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
All rights photo, shoot photo, That's what he did.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
They had a they had like a staff meeting, so
he wanted to impressed off.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Martin Weiss is at the anchor desk and keep us
updated throughout the program. Of course, Elijah our social media
Google just saw all right, let's start here starting.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
We're gonna start with the NBA Association.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Yes, yes, sir, and of course Joe l embiid you know,
like teammates going after him. We already know this season
has been uneven already. Yeah, he came out said he
didn't want to play back to backs all this other stuff.
The league find him for pushing a reporter there. You know,
he got a three game suspension, lost three days salary
(34:18):
to go along with the three game salary, I should say.
And now his teammate, Yeah, Tyrese Maxi, who was basically
the start of the team the last couple of years.
Joel obviously the bigger name, but Tyresee has been carrying
the team, trying his best. Obviously, they're out of guys,
Paul Georgian out the lineup. You got em beat out.
But he finally let him have it.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Now, all the reports are from Schams that he is
very close to him, bid that they're very close.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
They're very cool.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
They told each other accountable and they had to have
a team all hands on deck meeting, and in this meeting,
everybody spilled August It told hey, this is what's going on,
this is what I feel. And at a certain point
coaches got into it with the players and said, hey,
we need you guys to practice, we need you guys
to be there, we need this, and the.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Players said, we need you to coach, used to coach
us harder. We want to be coach harder.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
And then Tyres MAXI arguably their best player in the
sense that he's there more than em Beid says and
bed we need you here, We need you here on time,
We need you here on time to practice, and Shams
went on to say even more so that he was
specifically said that he that and beat is late and
he said quote for everything, and so the reports are
(35:29):
that again.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
He finally lived ahead and let.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Him be have it and said, look, man, I gotta
hold you accountable, big fella. We need you here, We
need you showing up, and you can't be late for
this can be late, for that can be late for everything.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
All right, It's simple to me. And I know people
don't want to move stars or big name players or whatever.
We've seen plenty of stars in this league get moved. Okay, Kobe, Kobe,
I mean Shaquille O'Neal was traded from Orlando to the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Okay, can we stop, we can stop? Right, Kobe was
on his way if you want. If his wife would have.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Liked right, she didn't want to live in Birmingham, she did,
she didn't know about Burmim. She thought Birmingham, Alabama. This
ain't gonna work. I can't do interracial dating backs.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
You know.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
But but my thing is enough already with Joe lmban
in Philadelphia, and it might just be time.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
You.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
You haven't gotten to the conference finals with him, right,
You haven't gotten there. You cannot make the conference finals
without them, right, I mean, like, it's not like you
he's taking you to the NBA Finals three years in
a row, and you're ready to finally break through and
win the championship. None of that has happened. He's a fine,
tremendous player, he is, but I think he's worn out
(36:43):
as welcome in Philadelphia. I think all of this stuff
when you hear about he's late for this and and
this is the way to play for the players to
bring up stuff like that tells you that it irked
him and it bothered them, especially when this guy hasn't
always produced. Look at his numbers, they're like cut almost
cut in half in the postseason.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
As good as he is.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
And if I'm a Philadelphia seventy six ers fan, or
I'm in the front offense or ownership, I would explore it.
I would absolutely take a look and say, is there's
somebody else out there who wants to play back to back,
who wants to be engaged with his teammates, who wants
to be on time and try to win a championship
(37:27):
for the city of Philadelphia. And it's fine. It doesn't
mean that he's a bomb oi camp play. He's one
out of his Olcome. I would give him a fat cheese
steak with extra cheese and say, don't let the door.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Hit you on the way out, some grilled onions, possibly
mushrooms defense depending on how to fields. No fake cheese though, yeah,
no fee, no no, no, I want know with the little
spray cheese theor not. I need some real cheese on that.
All right, here's the thing. Talent allows for a lot.
We all know that. We all know that that friend
who gets away with a lot, that coworker doesn't have
to be sports right. If you are talented, it will
(38:00):
allow you to get away with some things.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
But you know, I see it here at Fox Sports Radio.
But we're not gonna talk about it. We're not gonna
call him out.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
But what you can't do, you can't already be missing games.
You can't already not be playing back to backs. You
can't already be someone that's injured and only play forty
eight percent of your games. What you also can't be
is a person who has not won a ring or
gone to the NBA finals. So Joel Embiid were gods
(38:28):
for you know, forbid he was Lebron. Lebron can say, look, man,
you hey, Lebron laid every now and again. We ain't arguing, Okay,
Steph Curry late every now and again.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Do you see what that man just.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Did the other night to the South Wavericks, except for
of course he didn't.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
He didn't make the eat. They'll do that, they'll do
he did that.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
If Matt everybody out there, you know, they always hit
me out whenever he misses the shot that could tire
or put them ahead.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
This is I told you that one thing was the
NBA can and continues. We're gonna be kind of on
the same page about it. Okay, that's the one thing.
It's hard to even argue with less now because I
like that he'll even take it now. There was a
point period where I was like, he don't really take
those last second shots like that. But my point is,
if he was coming in with the equity rob of that,
(39:12):
Hey I'm coming in, I got rings right, or I'm
coming in. Hey we stay in the conference finals or
NBA finals. Come in and I play ninety percent of
the games. I'm hard nosed, I play every game. I'm
never injured, I'm durable, I'm an iron man. Then you
kind of wild look the other way. Hey, he might
have missed the little team meeting there. You know, Hey,
it happens. But he can't be trying to You can't
be trying to set the culture and have your best
(39:34):
players late for everything. You can't be trying to set
the culture and your best players always send you. You
can't be trying to set the culture of the team.
He's not playing back to backs. Some of it's not
as fault, you know what I mean. He's a seven
foot plus three dagna. We all win, he went through
all at the beginning of his career, was right, we
get all that.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
But to just come out and say before the season
even starts, whether we know you're healthy or not, I'm
not playing back to backs, to me, that's a cop out.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Yeah, And I wonder if he was just knowing he's
not coming five he's a young guy.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
He's probably the thirty thirty one maybe. But the reality
is the process was fun for the most part. The
process had some good times. But the process has expired
and it's time for the process to move on. We
no longer can trust the process, and some of it's
not as doing again. We can't trust it because he's hurt.
We can't trust it because he's injured. We can't trust
(40:25):
that he's gonna play in big games and meaningful moments.
So I think they had a good run. There was
three to four good years up in there. He made
himself an MVP, had a heck of her career. But
it's time to look some elsewhere else Now. The issue
is going to be rob who wants to take that on?
Speaker 3 (40:40):
You know what I mean? Who wants to take on
a big person.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
There's always somebody somebody. But I'm just saying that's the
issue with.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
An albatross of a contract got moved.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
I'm just saying, like, there's always somebody who thinks that, well,
we'll take him and he'll fall in line or he'll change.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
It's the injury. That's the one concern I.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Would have When he plays a top five top eight
player when he plays, It's like, man, can I trust
a guy who's only gonna play forty to fifty percent
of the games? But you got to explore, You gotta
see what's and you might have to take seventy five
cents on that dollar too, you don't just to finally
be able to move on and let Tyrese Maxi lead
the team and have a couple of nice pieces around,
(41:20):
a couple of draft picks as well.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
From Trade and Beat all Right.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

seventy six ers, would you look to move trade whatever
you want to?
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Say? Part ways?

As they said with Joe Douglas today with the Jets
they parted ways.
Speaker 3 (41:42):

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Steve the Sager's at the anchor desk, will keep us
updated throughout the program.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
He scares me, can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You look like yeah, I could hear you.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
What are you talking about? And of course.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Elijah on social media Guru of course. Uh so let's
get started.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Let's do it.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
We just heard the announcements. You just heard, Steve Sager.
Both m vps have been announced. Aaron Judge in the
American League unanimous, and show hey, Ol Tani in the
National League unanimous.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
And here we go.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
This is awesome because these two used to compete, right
when Otani was in the American League, right, and show,
hey beat him and Judge beat him when he set
the American League record. And so you have these two
guys both had unbelievable seasons. Otani had a history making
campaign with fifty stolen over fifty stolen base in fifty
home runs, which had never been done in the history
(04:21):
of baseball. You ain't the way you judges. Numbers are
just through the roof, like he just had. And we'll
go over all that, but just through the roof. But
now they're in different leagues. So there's two MVPs. Imagine
if we had to pick one MVP, just one MLB
turned to the NBA. And remember it has nothing to
(04:44):
do with the postseason. Neither guy did anything in the postseason,
so it doesn't matter really in this case. Okay, right,
But if you had to pick one mister kelvin Washington,
who does Dodgers pre and like that Dodgers pre who's from.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
New York, New York, but I'm from Commonweens. We all know.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
The best part about this is anybody who has been
listening for years to you knows your man crush for
Aaron Judge. Okay, so let's say it leads both to
be honest in this situation. All right, okay, guys, yes
for the Judge.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yes, so all right, if we have to pick one
one MVP, who you pick.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
It, don't first of all, don't put me in a box.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Okay, I might surprise you here and say that the
MVP would be show Hey Otani, Okay, show me the money,
show time. It hits different, as the kids say, Iowa, Sam,
it just hits different now, Aaron Judge. And obviously we're
both talking about two of the best of the best
of the best. So there's there's no wrong answer in
this case. Yes there is. It would be wrong if
(05:50):
you say, Aaron Judge, show Haltani what he was able
to do this season, and before you can even say it,
he hits the fifty to fifty club. In fact, he
goes past the fifty fifth Efty club and you're talking
about fifty stolen bases, fifty home runs. And what I
love about it most is he did it in his
first season with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
He didn't have to work his way in.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
He didn't know what to wand soda when he went
to the padres and everybody was underwhelmed and he had
to go somewhere else to get it started. Comes right
in into a roster where he could have been, you know,
feeling like it's just not gonna work out. They got
a bunch of other all stars. He comes right in
off of Tommy John surgery or at least a surgery,
since they won't tell us, and he comes right in.
He gets busy, and he gives you fifty plus home runs.
(06:33):
He's stealing bases, and he's stealing bases in the era
where guys don't really do that anymore. This in the seventies,
the eighties, nineties, Guys aren't stealing bases like that. Guys
are stealing bases or six ' four plus two something
big who also have to worry about hitting, who also
have to worry about pitching next season, It just looked different.
It was stylistically different. He did it on one of
(06:55):
the biggest teams, the biggest sports franchises, the Dodgers. He
lived up to the hype, which you know, Rob, Sometimes
that doesn't happen. You're underwhelming. When a new person goes
to a new place, it's a letdown.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Well, because he was playing at Anaheim where people just
didn't have the crowd.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
He was putting up numbers.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
But I mean, think about it, Mike Trout has been
the best player one, two or three the last seven.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Eight nine years. You don't know nothing about him.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Mike Trout outside of Anaheim can walk in the mall
and two people would recognize him. Yet he's regarded as
one of the best baseballs. Not if they would know
him because of his wheelchair.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I think no, I mean no, don't listen, thank you, Ryan,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I ain't gonna lie. My man stay injured.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Thank you. My man does stay injured. But so the
answer is show Hey. It just was different. It was power,
It was consistency, Rob. It was I'll bat second, I'll
lead off whatever you need. So for me, it's show hay.
But again, I'm not mad when you say judge, but
it was showing how you know I'm gonna say, Judge,
look at your face.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Aaron Judge had the better MVP season. And I'm not
before I undressed show Hay season, Okay, which you know I.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Will Aaron Judge unbelievable. Are you ready?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yes, led the major leagues in home runs fifty eight
and he also led the major leagues, not that the
American League, the major leagues ops, RBI, walks, and there
are a few other categories. And here's the part that
is incredible about his season. He had a terrible April.
(08:32):
Think about that. You remember he got booed at Yankee Stadium,
he was batting, won something, and he had a terrible April.
And so that is the damage he did was really
between May and September. I mean, think about that, like
he got he gave everybody a work. Remember that stretch
late September where he went homeless for fourteen games or
(08:56):
whatever it was. But I'm just trying to say, like
the start was you on, what a tear he was
on that We've probably never seen anybody have that kind
of a tear. It was really really incredible. And here's
the other thing.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You ready listening.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
The other part that I think when you look at
Aaron Judge and just in a major leagues where like
the the the batting average, right for the whole league
is something like two fifty something, right, Like that's the average.
Like that's the average, like two fifty something for everybody
(09:38):
in baseball the average batting average. Aaron Judges, a home
run hitter, batted three twenty two, Like that is unbelievable,
three twenty two with power, drove in runs.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Took his walks.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
He did everything you were supposed to do and led
the Yankees, remember and that lineup. Sometimes he was the
only guy. And that's what's impressive. Here's the only reason
why I'm going to discount and poo poo show Hail Tani's.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh yeah, I know where you're going. Fifty fifth, Go ahead,
get it out the way, go ahead and get the
pooh poo king. Come on, pooh poo king, I'm come on.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Sliding into pit boxes is what taints the fifty to fifty.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Like, I get it.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
He has speed and he's doing stuff that other people
haven't done. But you can't tell me that the base
is being closer. Remember the base is closer at first
base and at second base. And you can only throw
over twice. So once you throw over twice, he knows
you can't come over again, you know what I mean.
(10:47):
And if you do, uh, he's gonna get second base.
So I think that's the only part of it. He
had a tremendous season. But if I was really looking
at both, and I know it was historic and nobody
had ever.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Gone fifty fifth and don't say it like that. I
don't like the way you're saying it, but b utt but.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I would pick Judge because I think the way he
mashed from May through September was sites unseen. We never
seen anybody mash hit for average, hit those many home
runs in an era where guys don't hit for average,
where gods strike out a lot, guys don't even make
contact like that, that's incredible to me. Aaron Judge would
(11:30):
be my MVP, and they both were unanimous, but he
would be my MVP if we had to pick one.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
The thing about what you're discounting was show hey, and
you said it, but you kind of glossed over it
is that everybody has the same opportunity to holler at
these pizza hut boxes and no one does it.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And no one does it near.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Him when you're talking about guys who also fit hit
even just like thirty five home runs, say so forty,
let alone fifty.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That's the difference. So it wasn't even close.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
When you look at the next person who had nearly
you know, the amount of home runs is him when
it comes to stolen basis. So everybody has the opportunity,
he does it. And again that superior speed though, I'll
give you that, dude, and it is remarkable. Like I've
been in the clubhouse and I'm like, oh, he's a
legit six four and a half. Like he's not like,
oh he's six They listening there. He's a big guy.
He's a big dude, and he's taking those chances. And
(12:20):
again also for Mookie Bets to be a Hall of Famer,
and they'd be like, oh, man, Mooki's out, Mookie's injury.
We want you to back, you know, the lead off,
and he's leading off. He goes back to second when
you already know in the back of his head he's
rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. And again he comes to
the Dodgers where the expectations are through the roof World
(12:40):
Series or busts and he lives up to the height.
Fifty four home runs, fifty nine stolen basis.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Come on, man, here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
But he's got a whole entire country on top of
this country watching him putting up crazy ratings. You were
there spring training. I mean the pressure and not to
mention he did this. What a dude, who was all
of this pockets stealing his money? You know, he didn't know.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
He didn't know that the guy was stealing his money,
That's what he says.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
And they came to know that, and he got pressure
of that pressure playing with the Dodgers, pressure of a
new team.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Press.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Brugh got married and not only did he deliver, he
over delivered.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
And then he had a nerve.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I know it's the postseason, but go to the postine.
I'm not even count that, but I'm just saying that's
not in the vote, not in the voting. But that
has been remarkable to me. Again, Aaron Judge is incredible.
If you pick Aaron Judge, I ain't mad at you.
Here here's a reason to disqualify sho hal Tani. He
didn't only slide into those pizza boxes.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
He had an extra incentive He thought that there was
a slice in there with extra cheese and pepperoni, so
he had an incentive to get there faster.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
No, I'm not numb. I'm not dealing with you, all right.
The first one was better, so you can't double up.
We laughed at your first one. Then you chose to
go in for more.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Earth eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven nine sixty three sixty nine. Both were unanimous. They
were Otani and Judge. But if you have to pick one,
who's the MVP of baseball?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
We only want man.

Also last call your chance to get in on stuff
that you didn't have an opportunity to get on, get
(16:18):
in on earlier in the program. And man, we got
some a big story here, and I think the ramifications
are what makes it even bigger. But Kelvin jump in
on this. So you and I had a conversation, I
don't know, give it a month or so ago, a
couple of months ago, about Robert Craft. Should he get
into the Hall of Fame as a contributor. So it
was just announced earlier today that he was. Of course,
(16:42):
sources he was supposed to be considered for a favorite
to get into class of twenty twenty five for the
Profile Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
He's been passed over again.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
And this is being passed over by Ralph Hay, who
was a co founder of the National Football League and
the owner of the Canton Bulldog from nineteen eighteen to
nineteen twenty two and five sources with the knowledge told
ESPN earlier, and so they said these to these contributors,
they made this decision, and that's gonna be next month
(17:12):
when the Hall of Fame happens. And so some sources
are very close to the to this actually come out
and said they're very shocked by this. They said that
no one actually knows who this Hayes guy is unless
they say I'm going to quot him right here. This
source says, it's a huge surprise and it's very disappointing.
Unless you are an NFL historian, you don't know who
Ralph hay is. So what's happening was, hey, hey, hey,
(17:36):
this is the thirteenth year that Robert Kraft, who is
now eighty three, was considered by Hall committee but failed
to advance out of the committee eighteen years thirteen years
of an eighty percent of the voters must approved the
nominated finalists for an induction into Canton's Hall of Fame.
So another year is gonna have a year fourteen for
Robert Kaft If it were to happen.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
He's gotta be pissed.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Statement owner of a franchise that's won six Super Bowls. Okay,
he's eighty three, like there's no guarantee. I'm not trying
to tell them anywhere, but there's no guarantee that he's
going to be and have his day in the spotlight,
in the sun, you know, and get his place in
the Hall of Fame for his family and his kids
(18:22):
or his family, you know, and all that. And Jerry
Jones is in the Hall of Fame. Jerry Jones' franchises
won three and Jared hasn't done anything in thirty years,
but he's already in.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
He got in.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Yeah, And they picked a couple of people people don't
even know over again, whose franchises won more Super Bowls
than anybody, and they've taken him out again. They can
only be one reason, and one reason only. The New
England Patriots are cheaters. What else could it be. They're
(19:02):
holding a standard and saying, Jerry, I mean Robert Kraft
and that organization they were cheaters.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
And I got one thing to say. If you're gonna
do this to Robert.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Kraft, you gotta do it to Tom Brady, and you
gotta do it to Bill Belichick. Ain't no way you
could just pick out the owner and not pick out
the coach and the star quarterback who remember out of
those three guys who got suspended from the NFL, those
(19:37):
tom Brady got suspended for cheating. For cheating, Are they
gonna hold tom Brady's feet to the fire the way
they're doing Robert Kraft.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
The chances of that it's standing about the same amount
of chance as a piece of Ralph chickens and chicken
in front of your face. That ain't happening. You know
you eating it. Tom Brady's in the Hall of Fame.
Bill Belichick's in the Hall of Fame. No tell you.
I'm gonna tell you why. And I mean this sincerely.
I get your point. Here's why that's not happening. Number one,
tom Brady means way more to it to the perception
(20:11):
of football. Like then, when we go in to have
these bar barbershop conversations, sitting at the bar with your
homiees talking football the group chats, you're not talking about, yo,
who was the greatest owner of all time? You don't
do that, Yo. You know, who's the best contributor in
the Hall of Fame? You don't do that. You have
conversations about who's the greatest player, who's the greatest quarterback?
(20:32):
Which team? Not the owner. So you're right, what's happening
is what your witnessing is. Somebody's gotta be the fall guy,
and we'd rather make Robert Kraft the fall guy, who,
by the way, towards the end, has had some issues
that are out there as well that I do think
plays a part in this. You know, his indiscretions if
(20:52):
you will, that just magically went away. But by the way,
we always makes me laugh when we pick and choose
things go away.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
That's the story for another day.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
But all they need to do is put it on Netflix,
and then it would buffer the video so much we
wouldn't see it anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
No, but you'll be the main one trying to see it.
You'll be reloading video. You do want to see the video.
You'll be reloading this for years. You want to see
the video. You're the only person. Don't nobody else want
to see that? So, but that's a serious thing to me,
because I think this plays a role. So I think
you have the scandal of the cheating. Okay, they might
have been like all right, you know, because we're not
gonna let not. It can't be just that I'm saying,
(21:25):
And Jerry Jones is right, and we know Jerry Jones
been out here while. And what I'm saying is the
cheating and all that all right, we got an eye
on it, but we're not gonna not put Tom Brady in.
We're gonna not why Barry Bonds Wait a minute, because
that is Ferry.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Bonds and Roger Clemens, two of the greatest players who
ever played Major League baseball, are not in. And guess
what they have different from Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
They they never got suspended by it. Like Tom Brady,
you you make valid poisse. Can I tell you why?
Because that is perceived when you're putting a perception. I'm
not saying it, cauple perceive that you were putting something
in your body to cheat. Is different than you saying, hey,
I like the ball, my PSI on the ball to
be a little lower, you run around the flating balls
(22:11):
just a bit. Is a lot different than you've been
taking years and years of cycles of STARO.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Is it cheating?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I'm telling you this ain't. This is how they're seeing this. Okay,
So the Astros did they cheat?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
What they do? They cheat it? They knew what pitch
was coming.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Ros Sterry Tidles still there, but they knew what the
pitch was coming, it makes a different app So if
you're Tom Brady and your quarterback and you know what
the de you know the defensive signals of the other team,
you think that helps.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Of course. Okay, so it's cheating, But I.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Believe what they're telling you is our degree of what
we care about cheating.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
That's what you're hearing. No, that is what you're hearing.
But you need to be consistent.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Hey, if you're still gonna do this to Robert Craft,
he doesn't even play, he doesn't even have all all
that is exactly, but he doesn't even He's not even
involved in the stuff like that Bill Belichick because to
get the same treatment, he's the coach that happened.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
On his watch.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Bill was going on, the greatest coach. We're not gonna
leave the greatest coach out, Tom Brady, not Posi che quarterback.
He might be the greatest player of all time. We
ain't leaving him out. No, if he cheated, why not,
because he didn't cheat you. I'm not arguing did they
cheat with the flake game. I'm arguing with that everything
in life. Everything in life.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Has a five barometer as a metric and that's just life.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
And people are going to say, well they cheated with that.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
That ain't that Barry Bonds had he stolen, had a
you know, stolen some signs of future. All right, fine,
that's cheating, but technically that he did, he did steroids.
That was their thing. Pete Rose, you can bet no games.
That's our thing. We can't tolerate a minute.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Did Barry Bonds ever test positive in Major League Baseball?
I'm absolutely Did he ever get suspended? No, But I'm
saying that's the where they put and then we know happened.
I'm not saying Barryboys shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame.
What I'm saying is there are absolutely metrics and rules
to the way people view things.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I think. So there's Tom Brady, but wait.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
A minute, how are you gonna the owner that won
six Super Bowls? You're going to make him have the
run of yes, because he matters the least.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
And not and not wait and not Tom Brady or
not Bill Belichick. Tom Brady just get two call games. No,
I'm not about that. I wanted to do. No, it
does matter. It doesn't cheated or.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Point he cheated, putting him on a on your flagship
football station. And if he was a big cheat and
everyone cared, he would not be he cheated.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
It doesn't.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
The point is the people who run the Hall of
Fame on the writers Tom Brady fat.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Obviously, look they ain't even gonna be on the ballot. Obviously,
look at this.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Have already made Tom Brady's bus. Rob Parker, his bus
is made. His yellow jacket is to be consistent. They
might give him two. They might give tom Brady to
yellow jackets. No, they will first person to put one
on front winds and backers stop playing.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
No, they're gonna build one on the video camera that
they use to help Tom Brady win.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Bill Belich of a Sachi yellow jacket coming and tom
Brady's got a l Gucci or Louie stop playing. And
so we needed to make a fall guy. It's someone
who would get in as a contributor. We rather not
have the contributory. The only way to the owners get
in is So what I'm saying is I'd rather not
have that guy in than Bill Belichick, who was one
of the winning coaches and also the greatest.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Who you want in is whether or not you look
at their organization. If you're gonna do this to the owner,
the organization is now tainted. It's tainted that they've passed
this guy over. There's no way you're two guys about
the flake game and a potential spy game.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Obviously, the writers and the people who vote on this.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
No, I think they care more about the like the
personal reflection of your character.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
I don't believe. I don't absolutely believe. Did Jeff Joe Jey?
Did Jerry Joe? Just Jerry Jones is the most powerful man.
Did he just acknowledge that he had a kid out
of Well luck James.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
He's been me.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
He's just acknowledged it. But he's already been in the
Hall of Fame. He can acknowledge anything he wants that's
been out there forever. I just like he just I'm
not acknowledging the point he just acknowledged he already got against.
That case against Robert Craft was dropped.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
And we all know that it wasn't It wasn't dropped
for the right reasons, but it was dropped.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
All I'm saying is, if you're gonna do this to
Robert Kraft, you guys do what you're saying, and you
do it to Bill Belichia, you're.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Not living in a real listen anything, absolutely, Tom Brady,
as are they are. They mailed Tom Brady his yellow
jacket two years ago. They said, hey, Tom, just put
this in the closet real quick. We'll be back in
five years. Bill Belichick, what size you again? Forty six?
Are It's already in the mail. Just don't wear it yet.
You can put it. You can put a hoodie under
it if you want to, Bill Belichick. And that's just
the fact, Alex. You can shake your head. The first
(26:49):
text should be I agree, but you also gotta admit
what it is.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
The first text I got about this story. Ready, good,
that's what happens when you cheat.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
So if that's the sentiment about cheating, and that organization
is just a living every in the world, right, everyone
can ask your seven ninety nine on fun and ask
you a question and you two, rob who just got
elected president?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
No? But that okay, this is no no, no, no, no,
there is no no.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Because if that was the case, your argument would be
stronger if he got in, Bill, if Robert Kraft got in.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
My point is I can say the cheating that's why
it won't matter with Todd Brady.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
That's why it won't matter. It shouldn't have mattered. What No,
Rob he's a fall guy. Nobody cares about him. And
it doesn't make sense Robert Robert Craft would get in
because people would say because nobody care, nobody don't want
to get Robert. Why because it's not he's a contributor
and the credit owners in. It's not like he's the
first guy going in as an owner. They put owners in.
(27:50):
Robert Kraft will get in. I'm not saying that he
might not get in. No, I didn't say he'll be
alive when he gets in. But he's gonna get in.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Let's I want.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I want to hear from your head. I think Tom
Brady eight seven seven that to me, I'm telling you
that you're gonna do this. You gotta do it to
Bill Belichick. Craft, you gotta do it to Tom Braid.
They're gonna make him wait. They're gonna make him wait
it out.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
It is the waited out at eighty three. Yeah, can
you wait over there? What they're gonna do?
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Go stand over there doing I don't want to say
that wrong. When he's gone, I don't want to say that.
Robert Craft is all, but his office is in the cemetery.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'm just saying that when he's in the cemetery, they're
gonna say, you know who shoul get in the Hall
of Fame, Robert Kraft.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
And you said you wouldn't put him in the grave.
Now you don't put him in the grave. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine. Fucks.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
When I saw that you brought in the Odd Couple, Like,
I don't even know if it was a DVD set.
I think it was like a VHS set. Beata said, no,
it wasn't. It was an eight track, it was it
was something.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
It was a vinyl. It was a vinyl. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
I didn't know what it was. I'm like, what in
the I had to dust it off and I was
so excited. All right, let's welcome in my partner here. Yo,
name is Kelvin was trash talking Tuesdays. Hey, just one
more time, just because we all got duped. Alex hit
me with the Mike Tyson one more time than the
dude who said what he had to say what he.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Had to say, and again, thank you so much for sharing.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
The other one, the dude who what he doesn't want
to see about? Yeah, I mean Kevin from Cover City,
Kevin for COVID City. He spoke for all of us
something he ain't want to see today. What's up man?
Trash talking Tuesday is supposed to be at a certain
time of day, but we already getting started.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
So we got a busy, busy show.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Uh you got it, Yeah, booty, Thank you Kevin from Culver.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
City, Kevin for speaking for all of America, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
All right, So he from Talam will drop by in
about in about twenty six minutes. So from Salam, the
former NFL offensive lineman. He sounds sexy, that's right. Fox
Sports Radio Weekend host. See what you're gonna argue, We
got no trash talking at hour number two. Your chance
to trash anyone anything in the world of sports. You'll
have thirty or forty seconds to do so we will
(31:47):
not n ot interrupt you. So if you still want
to trash Tyson or Jake Paul on the whole ruse
or whatever it was, you can do that, and I'm
saying we won't. Is you you interrupt? And our number three.
There's a big twentieth anniversary today of the Malice at
the Palace?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Were you there? I was not there, And it's funny.
I was on my way there.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I was in the speaking engagement and I had to
drive past my apartment in downtown Detroit to get up
to the palace. So I turned the radio on. The
prisons are down by fifteen. I'm driving my car. There's
my apartment on the left. Or do I keep going
to get on the freeway? You miss sail out and
I missed it. I don't think I would have made
it anyway, you know what I mean? And I probably
(32:35):
would have let you into it. That was the time
we'll talk about this. Yes, and we have a guest,
Mike Stone Stony as people know him in Detroit ninety
seven won the ticket. He was the original Odd Couple
partner in Detroit. So Stony today on the twentieth anniversary,
let's welcome in the Odd Couple crew. We wouldn't be
able to do this find radio program without him. Alex
(32:57):
is our engineer of forty herd handle Downyan is our
uh producer.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Hold on, don't do don't sell him short, our well
dressed producer out here in the street.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I know they she told him to tighten up. All right,
Ryan is already engaged.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
He's got a beautiful bride to be, So no flattery
to Ryan.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
No, I'm saying she told him to tighten up. She
said something to Ain't no way. He coming in looking
like a J Crew fashion model right now, that's right.
I don't even know who he was. I was like,
how are you doing Ryan here? Like Kelvin is Mere
you go right, It's funny when you put on more
than the T shirt, you look different.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
He got his hair all nice and jailed. You know there.
It is why I figured it out.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
All rights photo, shoot photo, That's what he did.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
They had a they had like a staff meeting, so
he wanted to impressed off.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Martin Weiss is at the anchor desk and keep us
updated throughout the program. Of course, Elijah our social media
Google just saw all right, let's start here starting.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
We're gonna start with the NBA Association.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Yes, yes, sir, and of course Joe l embiid you know,
like teammates going after him. We already know this season
has been uneven already. Yeah, he came out said he
didn't want to play back to backs all this other stuff.
The league find him for pushing a reporter there. You know,
he got a three game suspension, lost three days salary
(34:18):
to go along with the three game salary, I should say.
And now his teammate, Yeah, Tyrese Maxi, who was basically
the start of the team the last couple of years.
Joel obviously the bigger name, but Tyresee has been carrying
the team, trying his best. Obviously, they're out of guys,
Paul Georgian out the lineup. You got em beat out.
But he finally let him have it.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Now, all the reports are from Schams that he is
very close to him, bid that they're very close.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
They're very cool.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
They told each other accountable and they had to have
a team all hands on deck meeting, and in this meeting,
everybody spilled August It told hey, this is what's going on,
this is what I feel. And at a certain point
coaches got into it with the players and said, hey,
we need you guys to practice, we need you guys
to be there, we need this, and the.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Players said, we need you to coach, used to coach
us harder. We want to be coach harder.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
And then Tyres MAXI arguably their best player in the
sense that he's there more than em Beid says and
bed we need you here, We need you here on time,
We need you here on time to practice, and Shams
went on to say even more so that he was
specifically said that he that and beat is late and
he said quote for everything, and so the reports are
(35:29):
that again.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
He finally lived ahead and let.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Him be have it and said, look, man, I gotta
hold you accountable, big fella. We need you here, We
need you showing up, and you can't be late for
this can be late, for that can be late for everything.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
All right, It's simple to me. And I know people
don't want to move stars or big name players or whatever.
We've seen plenty of stars in this league get moved. Okay, Kobe, Kobe,
I mean Shaquille O'Neal was traded from Orlando to the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Okay, can we stop, we can stop? Right, Kobe was
on his way if you want. If his wife would have.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Liked right, she didn't want to live in Birmingham, she did,
she didn't know about Burmim. She thought Birmingham, Alabama. This
ain't gonna work. I can't do interracial dating backs.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
You know.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
But but my thing is enough already with Joe lmban
in Philadelphia, and it might just be time.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
You.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
You haven't gotten to the conference finals with him, right,
You haven't gotten there. You cannot make the conference finals
without them, right, I mean, like, it's not like you
he's taking you to the NBA Finals three years in
a row, and you're ready to finally break through and
win the championship. None of that has happened. He's a fine,
tremendous player, he is, but I think he's worn out
(36:43):
as welcome in Philadelphia. I think all of this stuff
when you hear about he's late for this and and
this is the way to play for the players to
bring up stuff like that tells you that it irked
him and it bothered them, especially when this guy hasn't
always produced. Look at his numbers, they're like cut almost
cut in half in the postseason.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
As good as he is.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
And if I'm a Philadelphia seventy six ers fan, or
I'm in the front offense or ownership, I would explore it.
I would absolutely take a look and say, is there's
somebody else out there who wants to play back to back,
who wants to be engaged with his teammates, who wants
to be on time and try to win a championship
(37:27):
for the city of Philadelphia. And it's fine. It doesn't
mean that he's a bomb oi camp play. He's one
out of his Olcome. I would give him a fat cheese
steak with extra cheese and say, don't let the door.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Hit you on the way out, some grilled onions, possibly
mushrooms defense depending on how to fields. No fake cheese though, yeah,
no fee, no no, no, I want know with the little
spray cheese theor not. I need some real cheese on that.
All right, here's the thing. Talent allows for a lot.
We all know that. We all know that that friend
who gets away with a lot, that coworker doesn't have
to be sports right. If you are talented, it will
(38:00):
allow you to get away with some things.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
But you know, I see it here at Fox Sports Radio.
But we're not gonna talk about it. We're not gonna
call him out.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
But what you can't do, you can't already be missing games.
You can't already not be playing back to backs. You
can't already be someone that's injured and only play forty
eight percent of your games. What you also can't be
is a person who has not won a ring or
gone to the NBA finals. So Joel Embiid were gods
(38:28):
for you know, forbid he was Lebron. Lebron can say, look, man,
you hey, Lebron laid every now and again. We ain't arguing, Okay,
Steph Curry late every now and again.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Do you see what that man just.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Did the other night to the South Wavericks, except for
of course he didn't.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
He didn't make the eat. They'll do that, they'll do
he did that.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
If Matt everybody out there, you know, they always hit
me out whenever he misses the shot that could tire
or put them ahead.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
This is I told you that one thing was the
NBA can and continues. We're gonna be kind of on
the same page about it. Okay, that's the one thing.
It's hard to even argue with less now because I
like that he'll even take it now. There was a
point period where I was like, he don't really take
those last second shots like that. But my point is,
if he was coming in with the equity rob of that,
(39:12):
Hey I'm coming in, I got rings right, or I'm
coming in. Hey we stay in the conference finals or
NBA finals. Come in and I play ninety percent of
the games. I'm hard nosed, I play every game. I'm
never injured, I'm durable, I'm an iron man. Then you
kind of wild look the other way. Hey, he might
have missed the little team meeting there. You know, Hey,
it happens. But he can't be trying to You can't
be trying to set the culture and have your best
(39:34):
players late for everything. You can't be trying to set
the culture and your best players always send you. You
can't be trying to set the culture of the team.
He's not playing back to backs. Some of it's not
as fault, you know what I mean. He's a seven
foot plus three dagna. We all win, he went through
all at the beginning of his career, was right, we
get all that.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
But to just come out and say before the season
even starts, whether we know you're healthy or not, I'm
not playing back to backs, to me, that's a cop out.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Yeah, And I wonder if he was just knowing he's
not coming five he's a young guy.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
He's probably the thirty thirty one maybe. But the reality
is the process was fun for the most part. The
process had some good times. But the process has expired
and it's time for the process to move on. We
no longer can trust the process, and some of it's
not as doing again. We can't trust it because he's hurt.
We can't trust it because he's injured. We can't trust
(40:25):
that he's gonna play in big games and meaningful moments.
So I think they had a good run. There was
three to four good years up in there. He made
himself an MVP, had a heck of her career. But
it's time to look some elsewhere else Now. The issue
is going to be rob who wants to take that on?
Speaker 3 (40:40):
You know what I mean? Who wants to take on
a big person.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
There's always somebody somebody. But I'm just saying that's the
issue with.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
An albatross of a contract got moved.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
I'm just saying, like, there's always somebody who thinks that, well,
we'll take him and he'll fall in line or he'll change.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
It's the injury. That's the one concern I.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Would have When he plays a top five top eight
player when he plays, It's like, man, can I trust
a guy who's only gonna play forty to fifty percent
of the games? But you got to explore, You gotta
see what's and you might have to take seventy five
cents on that dollar too, you don't just to finally
be able to move on and let Tyrese Maxi lead
the team and have a couple of nice pieces around,
(41:20):
a couple of draft picks as well.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
From Trade and Beat all Right.

As they said with Joe Douglas today with the Jets
they parted ways.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
No, we got fire say it.
